06/15/07 - We were truly saddened today to find out that Shaun Christopher,
aka CdnTransfan of the Club Boards, has passed away at the very young age of 28. Shaun was a big part of the Club and we were happy to have him as part of the TCC family. More than just a club member, Shaun also served as one of the moderators on the club forums. He was always there to support not just the Club, but the fandom, the brand and the hobby itself. He will be missed dearly.
We on Hasbro Transformers Team were deeply saddened by the news of Shaun Christopher's passing. Shaun was a dedicated member of the Transformers fan community, and we enjoyed seeing and talking to him every year at BotCon. We also lost another loyal Transformers fan earlier this year, William Koshorek. The enthusiasm Shaun and William showed for the Transformers brand reinforced our belief that the work we do at Hasbro has the ability to bring people together in friendship,while entertaining them at the same time. Our thoughts and prayers go out to their family and friends. They will truly be missed.
Sincerely,
Hasbro Transformers Team
